This is my first time trying out emulation. I wanted to play LBP2, but whenever an object is even slightly in the distance, it turns into a mess of pixels—though the user interface looks fine. Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/qnY97YK
Could someone please help.
PC specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
RAM: 16 GB DDR4

With older consoles, I've often seen plenty of division over whether or not emulation or original hardware is the best way to play their games. But what about the Xbox 360 and PS3?

Is emulation for them good enough to the point that I can just use their respective emulators, or am I better off getting the consoles? I want to experience most of their libraries, including titles that may require accessories like PSMove or the Kinnect.

Hi, I'm playing God of War 3 on PC, and I have a problem with the tree trunk shown in the screenshot. No matter how many times I press the button, I can't lift the tree trunk.

I've tried different versions of the game and tested it on RPCS3, RPCS4, and the new RPCSX emulator, but I get the exact same issue every time.

Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it?

Can Ryzen 3 run RPCS3? It runs super slow for me then the games crash. Tried ncaa 14 and raging blast 2

With all the ports coming through, i was wondering if anyone has had any luck porting either of these fallout games onto the switch?

I can finally use the deck to play mame games and control them, but I can't launch a game using p1, p2 or the atgames buton, inside retrobat.

I tried retrobat's controller mapping multiple times, but it doesn't change anything.

I have to double click to launch a game with the mouse, then switch back to the control deck to play, etc. It's so annoying ;)

When I click the p1 and p2 buttons, that pops up retrobat's main menu, and the atgames (green button) pops up a different retrobat menu. No idea how to solve this.

Buenas, como están? Quisiera saber cual es el mejor emulador de android para pc. No quiero jugar juego la verdad, solo necesito usar redes sociales como Instagram, X u otras. Probe LD Player pero a la hora de subir una historia en Instagram las fotos salen pixeleadas.

Muchas gracias a todos!!!

Hey guys, I wanted to share with you a project I've been working on for days, Zyrox! 🎮

In short: it's a Windows app that turns your PC into a full-fledged console.

The idea is super simple: gather all your games from various consoles (Switch, Wii, PS2, PS3, PS4, NES, SNES, Game Boy, DS...) in one place and launch them with a single click, without having to go crazy opening and configuring a thousand emulators by hand.

✨ What to do:

📚 Single library: All your games together with cover art and hours played.

📺 TV mode: Full screen and 100% navigation from the controller (PlayStation menu style).

🎮 Automatic controller detection: Automatically recognizes your DualSense, Xbox controller, or Switch and immediately adapts to the on-screen buttons.

⚙️ Easy setup: Install and configure emulators for you.

📱 Smartphone = Controller: Turn your phone into a Wii Remote or Joy-Con for motion games (like Wii Sports or Mario Tennis)!

💾 Automatic Backup: Automatically backs up your saves.

🎵 Console Vibe: Background music, menu sounds, and thoughtful visual effects.

The app is currently in a testing phase with a few people. If you'd like to try it out and let me know what you think (or if you find any bugs!),

Any suggestions or issues you encounter will help me improve it tremendously! 🙌

(NB: Zyrox doesn't include games or ROMs. If you need them to try, I have some and can send them to you.)

I'll leave the Github link below!

I’ve been working on the Virtual Jaguar libretro core for a while, and it now has its own desktop front end. It runs the same core RetroArch uses, so options and save states work the same in both. The RetroArch core isn’t going anywhere.

What it does:

• macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows (x64 + ARM64), Linux (AppImage, .deb, Flatpak)
• No BIOS files needed. The boot ROM and CD BIOS are built in.
• Jaguar CD support from .cue/.chd/.cdi
• Library with box art, search, favorites, recently played, and a save states tab
• Save states with thumbnails, plus “resume where I left off”
• Per-game controller remapping, all 12 keypad buttons on a gamepad, Tempest rotary, mouse, light gun, Team Tap
• RetroArch .slangp shaders (CRT presets bundled), integer scaling, aspect options
• RetroAchievements (softcore/hardcore) and optional Discord Rich Presence
• Cheats from the libretro database, plus manual codes
• LAN link-cable play for Doom, BattleSphere, AirCars and Ultra Vortek (Voice Modem). It’s LAN only, not internet netplay (coming soon though).
• Themes and a theme editor, any installed font
• Dev tools for homebrew people: 68K/GPU/DSP debugger, memory editor, Object Processor list, blitter log, and a gdb stub

I just tried mGBA out for the first time on my little office style PC. I have had problems with an audio popping sound. I thought these emulators could run find on most anything in recent years.

PC specs

Windows 10 64 bit

i7-4770S CPU @ 3.10GHz

16 GB ram

Intel HD Graphics 4600

C: Samsung 850 EVO SSD 250 GB

D: Samsung PM851 mSATA SSD 128 GB (roms are stored here)

mGBA settings

Audio buffer - was on 1024 and I get frequent audio popping. I increased it to 2048 and get a

maybe 50% less popping. Resolution was set to 1920 x 1080 at first. I reduced it to 1440 x 960 at the same time but I don't know if that made any difference or the audio buffer made the difference.

I was wondering, is there an ideal resolution for a PC user to run this at (besides) the

resolution of the original GBA? Should I try to be happy with 720 x 480? I hate to see all that
extra space on my screen and a tiny game in the middle.

Eu não consigo fazer nenhum jogo no emulador do ps5 entrar todos ou não entram ou carregam infinito , meu pc é ryzen 7 5700x + rtx 5060 ti 16gb + 32gb mas mesmo assim não vai de jeito nenhum.

I’m playing through the jak games again on OpenGoal and I turned off vsync (I know this setting fixes it and I know it must be off to use it with rtss) because I can bump the resolution way up without losing a bunch of fps.

I’m using a weaker laptop admittedly but it’s good enough to run at least ps2 games at an 2x resolution through emulation and jak 1-3 at 1080 using OpenGoal.

How do I hide the screen tearing because no matter where I look or test, the tearing never changes locations.

Am I missing something? Am I stupid?

I have been desperately trying to get multiple classic Macintosh emulators working on my Windows 10 Home Edition PC, but to no avail. I have tried the V-Mac Core on RetroArch, but I can't seem to load the disc images to run the game Might and Magic on the emulator.
I have tried the VMac emulator itself and while I had some luck activating the emulator and attempting to install the game, it seems to get stuck in an endless loop of asking for the hard drive disk image and the data disk one image for Might and Magic.
I have also tried the Basilisk 2 emulator which always ends in failure because no matter what ROM file I use or configuration I use it always ends up with a not responding error and I have to close the emulator.
I have downloaded all of the BIOS and ROM files from Macintosh Gardens and other websites like that, but no configuration seems to be able to work with this game.
I have even tried infinitemac.org but when installing the game it says that the data disk 1 image is too full and can't create the desktop file necessary for installation as far as I can tell.
Any ideas on this? Has anyone been able to get these Macintosh emulators working and running games?
Thanks very much for your time.

I want to use integer scaling but want to image to slightly extend past the edges of my screen instead of letterboxing. I know RetroArch has this option but I would prefer to use the standalone version.

Hi,so i wanted to know if anyone knew a way to get mii's in the streetpass plaza,since encounter doesn't work on emulation and i can't find anything about it online,does somebody know how to get them? Like is it something i need to find in the godmod manager like some kind of save?

Also sorry if it's the wrong subreddit,with all the rules i read i'm kinda lost.

i'm not really sure where to post this, but i'm on world 3 of this game and am encountering a bug where i can no longer lock in with a crosshair to throw the chickens at targets (i know this is such a long shot but i'm at wits end) and was wondering if someway somehow someone here knows about this and knows what to do😭i can't find any forums or anything about this online and it's unclear if it's an emulator bug or an in-game bug

Pretty much the title. Been messing around with the settings and can't figure it out. The section that I'm on is pretty much unplayable.

GoW II issue (Video)
Current settings

Edit: turns out the solution was something stupid and all I had to do was switch from Volkan to OpenGL. Also turned on Write Color Buffers for giggles, idk if it helps tho

Hi everyone,
I’m new to emulation and currently using a Lenovo ThinkPad X13. I’ve already set up Dolphin for GameCube games and DuckStation for PS1 games, and they’ve been running well so far. I’ve even played Spider-Man through my projector with no noticeable lag.
I’m now wondering if my laptop is powerful enough to run a PS2 emulator, specifically PCSX2.

My laptop specs:
● Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad X13
● RAM: 16 GB
● Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics (128 MB dedicated graphics memory shown in Windows)
● Storage: 475 GB SSD
● Free storage: Approximately 396 GB
● Operating system: Windows 11

I’d mainly like to play single-player PS2 games, especially games like Spider-Man, Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid. I don’t mind lowering the resolution or changing settings if necessary.

My questions:
1. Can my laptop run PCSX2 at playable speeds with these specs?

1. Which PS2 games would run well, and which ones might struggle?

2. What graphics settings would you recommend for my Intel UHD Graphics?

3. Would playing at native PS2 resolution be the best option?

4. Would connecting my laptop to a projector through HDMI affect performance?

I’d appreciate any advice, especially from people who have used PCSX2 on similar hardware. Thanks!

I’m having trouble downloading games ps5 games files . Is it an extra step after download . It doesn’t show in my emulator .

NBA LIVE 19 (CUSA11355) se quedaba atascado indefinidamente en la pantalla de "CARGANDO" en shadPS4, y una vez que lograba superar ese problema, los jugadores tenían el pelo y la piel brillando como si estuvieran en llamas, y el suelo tenía destellos. Localicé ambos errores en el emulador y creé una versión no oficial con las correcciones.

**Descarga (compilación + configuración del juego + instrucciones):** https://github.com/danilenko22/shadPS4/releases/tag/nba19-fix-v2

**Código fuente (GPL-2.0):** https://github.com/danilenko22/shadPS4/tree/nba19-fix

**¿Qué falló?**

* **Infinito Cargando: En Windows, TimedMutex::try_lock_until de shadPS4 devolvía "tiempo de espera agotado" sin siquiera intentar bloquear cuando el tiempo límite ya había expirado (tiempo de espera = 0). NBA LIVE 19 usa un bloqueo temporizado de 0 µs como bloqueo de intento, por lo que una tarea de carga (ScenarioInitializationJob) nunca finalizaba. Solución de una sola línea en kernel/sync/mutex.h.

• Jugadores brillantes / destellos en el suelo (aleatorio, ~19 de 20 sesiones): Los mapas cúbicos de reflexión de la arena son BC6H con datos reales solo hasta 4x4, pero el juego declara más niveles de mipmaps. Los niveles de 2x2 y 1x1 contenían basura (memoria más allá de la textura o nunca escrita por la GPU). Los materiales de baja resolución muestrean esos mipmaps → valores HDR enormes → efecto de brillo "fuego". Corrección: las vistas muestreadas de imágenes comprimidas por bloques se detienen en el último mipmap de bloque completo. Sin impacto en el rendimiento.
• **Extra:** Repeticiones/escenas cinemáticas a 60 FPS con vblank_frequency: 120\, además de una corrección para un fallo de "Interrupción de volteo fuera de orden" que esta configuración podía provocar.

También incluye la solicitud de extracción pendiente n.° 4796 (límites LDS), adaptada a esta base.

**Notas**

• Bifurcación no oficial, no afiliada al equipo de shadPS4; por favor, no reporten problemas de esta compilación al proyecto principal. Si los desarrolladores consideran útiles las correcciones, con gusto abriré solicitudes de extracción.
• No se proporcionan archivos de juego, firmware ni claves. Usa tu propio volcado y tus propios módulos del sistema PS4.
• Probado en RX 9070 XT + i9-12900KF, Windows 11. Se agradecen los comentarios de los usuarios de NVIDIA/Intel. Los errores son del emulador, por lo que deberían afectar a cualquier GPU.

Does anyone know how to fix those black bars?

Can someone help me or show me a video on where to find switch games for emudeck. I’m having issues finding bios and the keys for the games. Does anyone know or can show me how to obtain those please. I would prefer video if possible. I’m trying to get these emulated on emudeck on my legion go 2.
